Remote Access to CasaOS (and Apps) via Cloudflare Tunnels

Recently I've received multiple requests to make a video showing how to get Cloudflare tunnels configured to work with CasaOS.

In this video I'm going to show you the process I went through to figure it out as well as the actual steps to get it to work.

Then I'll show you how to install the appfile I created to make it even easier for you.

My friend, I had been fighting a 522 error out of Cloudflare for over a month. I was trying to connect to my Home Assistant (core) on a CasaOS Zima Board. I was at my wits end. This video helped me get a better install of my Cloudflare in Docker AND get the configuration right. I watched a lot of videos and researched a lot. Thanks for your effort on this!

I'm 50+ and brand new to the world of linux. Your videos are great.. After working through getting Ubuntu server installed then casaos I followed this all the way until found out the import doesn't appear anymore 🙄 However the way you took the time to explain and show the different methods that did and didn't work is amazing and a credit to you.. I was able to get CL tunnel installed and running through ssh with your clear instructions. Thanks so much.! 😊

My server crashed today and i couldnt figure out why my tunnel was down. I found your video quite fast not knowing it would highlight exactly my issue. Thank you so much!. you saved me hours/days of having to problem solve!

Just followed your other video about purchasing a domain name, setting it up then followed this and working perfectly. Thanks for the easy to follow videos!

[Goldcrowdnetwork]

Another fantastic video! I so like that you show what didn't work-that's true mastery in teaching-most skip that to appear more (whatever) I like the real deal... 'X' didn't work, 'X' didn't work, 'X' didn't work, here's what worked. Brilliant. Do you have any videos on CGnat modem-->commercial router-->5 port switch possibly? 😁 (Can't blame a man for askin', besides I don't have Whoogle or Searx installed yet lol)

This video is no longer relevant since CasaOS removed the feature to install from an AppFile in the most recent update, up until this update this was the most reliable way to get it working and I have referenced this video a lot. Would love to see an updated version for the newest version of CasaOS

Hello everything is fine? Congratulations on the videos. I have a problem when I do the tunnel it accesses through the link in cloudflare but if I click on the jellyfin icon in casaOs it doesn't start jellyfin, what could it be?

[mattfaust]

For some reason, when i get to the appfile part, i dont have that as a option - only Docker CLI and Compose....

My gaming chair's lumbar pillow came with nothing to hold it in place whatsoever. After about a week, I got myself some adhesive Velcro strips and stuck it exactly where I wanted it, with some range for vertical repositioning. In the two years since, I've never had to think about it again except for wondering where the impractical USB power adapter for the built in massager went. The elastic strap for the head rest has always been annoying and I'm considering velcroing that on too.

I've been following but I can't seem to get the domain name registered

Hi David. Are you planning of making a video about integrating Authelia with Cloudflare tunnels?

[ashishcchauhan]

Sir, I used cloudflare tunnel for my local setup. For casa os i.e. the local ip its working fine but when I’m trying for nextcloud which is at 443 port for tls/ssl and when I’m trying to create a tunnel for next cloud if I’m trying with http only its giving me 400 error and if trying with https giving me 502 bad gateway error since its port 443 supposed to be ssl and it should have a ssl certificate but I don’t have any ssl certificate for next cloud so not working. I tried to create an ssl certificate in cloudflare but I don’t know how to install it for nextcloud. Please help me out. Thanks

[tushar]

thank you so much sir your videos are helping much, i watched your every video and made my own cloud server it saved my lot of money
